Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken a rotisserie chicken works perfectly
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1 oz packet dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas burrito size, 10-inch
  • 1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon optional
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions optional

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Serrated Knife

Instructions
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning, crumbled bacon (if using), and green onions (if using). Mix until well combined.
  2. Lay a tortilla flat. Spread a quarter of the chicken mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small 1/2-inch border.
  3. Roll the tortilla up into a tight log. Wrap the log securely in plastic wrap.
  4. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Place the wrapped logs in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  5. Once chilled, unwrap the logs. Use a sharp, serrated knife to cut them into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange on a platter and serve.

Notes

Tip 1: For the cleanest slices, make sure the roll-ups are well-chilled. Don't rush this step!
Tip 2: A serrated knife works best for cutting through the tortillas without squishing the filling.
Tip 3: Use full-fat cream cheese for the best flavor and a firmer filling.
